Leaving on a Jet Plane


Doesn't that song make you miss John Denver?...may he rest in peace.

Tomorrow morning, I am getting on a plane to go visit my sister Ashley for a weekend of eating, shopping, eating, pedicures, eating, movies, meeting up with friends and did I mention eating? It has been nearly two years since I went down to see her (though she comes here a lot.) I am so excited.

Thank you to Sam and my mom for making this trip possible. I think they know my sanity depends on it.

In the meantime, check out some of my new (to me) favorite blogs:

http://www.designtimesfour.com/. This is written by my very talented, fashionable friend Andrea and her uber talented husband. They both cook, redo furniture (I have no idea what the correct term for this is) and have the most stylish modern home. Check it out..they post almost daily.

http://www.maryromney.com/. This blog is written by one of Mitt Romney's daughter-in-laws. I may or may not have a small crush on Mitt. If you do too, you will love this blog. The daughter-in-law, Mary, has amazing taste and you get a glimpse into their very fun life. Go Mitt 2012!

http://www.ablogaboutlove.com/. This blog is about love, divorce, forgiveness, infertility and life in New York. It is written by a husband wife duo (it is a second marriage for both of them.) I love their happy love story and their optimistic outlook on life. If you are going through a divorce, or struggling with anything really, this blog will appeal to you.

Enjoy! I will be back soon with a full report!

Thanks for the shout out Brooke. We hope you have a great trip!

If (WHEN) you get to my house tomorrow and it's unclean, it's because I just spent forever reading those blogs.

We'll discuss them over some vittles.

John Denver songs always make me cry.
Have a ball with Ashley and enjoy every minute of it (and then blog about it :-)

John Denver is great, but that song always makes me think of that scene from "Armageddon" with Ben Affleck, Liv Tyler, and the rest of the astronauts.

Ben Affleck is way off-key, but then the rest of the crew joins in to make it sound decent.

Here's the video from the movie soundtrack:

I hope you had a great time in the Bay Area with Ashley...Happy Thanksgiving!
